Description

In these intimate essays, Erika L. Sánchez turns the bathroom mirror into a place of reckoning—where desire, shame, and survival collide. With forthright clarity, she moves through sex and romantic longing, the politics of white feminism, and the ache of debilitating depression, tracing how private experiences become public questions. As her story unfolds, readers witness the emotional and intellectual work of confronting identity, agency, and the body—especially in the aftermath of an abortion in her thirties. Written in Sánchez’s candid, idea-rich voice, these essays blend memoir and cultural critique to illuminate what it means to keep living, even when you’re crying.
